With the evolving problems of terrorism in Nigeria and the formation of numerous new terrorist groups, insurgency in Nigeria has escalated, making Nigeria one of the most terrorized countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In this book, Dr. Bowie Sonnie Bowei discusses the evolution of terrorist groups in Nigeria, their mode of operation, and their effects on citizens and the Nigerian economy. Within his comprehensive examination, he describes the operations of counterterrorist agencies as well as the effects of the strategies applied in an attempt to fight terrorism, provides an account of the psychology of terrorism, offers insight into the preparedness of emergency agencies for terrorism incidences in Nigeria, and proffers solutions to most of the dilemmas discussed. Included are disaster response strategies and skills, risk and resilience factors, and plans for urban communities. Nigeria's Insurgency and Counterterrorism Strategies is a well-researched treatise that examines effective strategies for counterterrorism engagement and emergency preparedness while promoting positive social change.
